ABSTRACT

I have such fun with arms that I think we should highlight a few ways to do them. Th ere are a few methods around-some old, some new. Th e wing of the bird in this case is given bones pretty much like an arm, so it will have a similar setup (ignoring the concept of the feathers for now). Also, to make things a little simpler, I have added in some very basic shapes for the wing, hid the original low poly version and un-parented all the feather joints and hid them, too ( chpt12_ Marv_bird_RIG_v11.mb ). It literally was making me nauseous to look at all of that stuff while working on the wing. We’ll focus on the core functionality of the wing/arm, with no need for bicarbonate.
